‘Tis the busiest season for most people in Edmonton. Luckily, Edmonton restaurants make the holiday season a little easier with dinner and brunch specials. Save time and effort with one of the many holiday dinner specials available in 2023. And take your pick between a number of different ways to dine, or types of meals.
The Edmonton restaurants with Christmas Dinners or Christmas Eve specials include dine-in and take-home specials like Turky to Go, or Prime Rib to Go. Among the takeout options are a mix of heat-and-serve, cook-at-home, and ready-to-eat Christmas meals.
